The far right has never been a huge fan of socialism.
It is not rational to rewrite history, to equate Hitlers ideas of socialist grandeur, Progressive socialist Democrats utopia, and Communism's final chapter, to anything far-right constitutionalist of individual liberties, outweighing the collective mob rule socialism.

Nothing "right" but a left wing party.
That's the typical opinion of an uneducated right-winger. Yes, they had "socialist" in their name and held to some socialist policies, but at their core the Nazis were in fact in opposition to both the traditional Left-wing and Right-wing political wings.

They were fascists; in other words, virulently nationalist authoritarians.

Hmm...strongly nationalist and populist that upends traditional liberals and conservatives... Where have we seen that kind of platform lately?

Here's your own link schooling you:

Quote:
The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "socialism", as an alternative to both international socialism and free market capitalism. Nazism rejected the Marxist concept of class conflict, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good" and accept political interests as the main priority of economic organization.[4]

I didn't escape from my original communist country - we simply left.

I have never been to Russia but the USSR influence was felt heavily in my country.

My family was very apolitical and they were never persecuted except that the communists confiscated my grandparents' properties - a storefront along a main street in a major city. They did "compensate" my grandparents with an small apartment. My grandparents went from upper middle class back down to barely above poverty as they had no other means of earning a living nor were they allowed. I remembered that my grandmother used to fold and assemble match boxes every night to make a few cents for her family.

Public execution was very common, a few a month at least. The communists trucked in the counter-revolutionists, announced their "crimes" to the crowd and took them away to be shot. I was very young at the time and had no idea what that was.

The Nazis were as socialist as the German Democratic Republic was democratic.

Hitlers NAZI party also discriminated against ethnic groups like Jews.

Do democrats want to ban Muslims from coming to America? (No, republicans do.)


Hitler publicly spoke of philosophies of the far left to gain votes and support. But if one looks at the racial discrimination and military actions carried out by the NAZI party clearly they were more like republicans than democrats.


And as far as neo-NAZI's these groups applaud and celebrate Donald Trump.

The Ku Klux Klan Endorsed Donald Trump.

And David Duke celebrated Trump's election night victory.

Clearly neo-NAZI's and the KKK support Donald Trump.

Throughout history ,the klan has been represented by both sides. Although, it definitely seems more biased towards the Democrats though. Interesting.

Your statement that the kkk endorses Trump, so what ? That doesn't make him racist. Qatar and Saudi Arabia supported HRC, does that make her a terrorist ?
Law enforcement and the military also sided with Trump, why focus on some dirtballs ? Because it is another wedge to utilize in the division of this country.


Trump wants to keep out illegals, HRC did not , of course the kkk will pick him over her.

The Klan (alt-right, neo-nazis, etc) was/is racist a holes who are mostly too stupid to be political. They went to whatever party would give them and their racist screeds any credence. Currently it's the GOP. Has been since the 60's. Before that it was the dems. I'm glad we booted their sorry behinds. You righties are welcome to 'em.

The only party that gives the klan credence has always been the Democratic Party.

Because both the alt-right and the Nazis were racist.

Also the Nazis were not socialist, any more than today's North Korea is a "Republic."

I seem to recall Strom Thurmond, Dixiecrat who turned Republican, being rather tolerant of the KKK
